We are excited to announce that Hostos Community College will be migrating to the Handshake platform this summer to increase our career services offerings. Handshake is a modern, user-friendly platform that will provide our students with more opportunities to connect with employers, internships, and career resources.
What does this mean?
Starting July 1, 2024, Symplicity will no longer be available.
Key Dates and Information:
- August 1, 2024: Handshake will be launched for all employers.
- August 14, 2024: Handshake becomes the Hostos Community College career management system. All students and recent alumni will have access to Handshake.
To ensure a smooth transition, please note the following:
- Data Migration: We are in the process of transferring relevant data from Symplicity to Handshake.
- Access for Departments: We will reach out to Divisions/departments interested in having their own Handshake career services access for their cohort of students. This will enable you to customize settings and maximize the benefits of the new platform for students.
- We will provide detailed instructions and training sessions to help you and students get started with Handshake. Please keep an eye on your email for updates and further information.
If you have any questions or need immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Lisanette Rosario, Career Services, at Lrosario@hostos.cuny.edu or 718-518-4468.
